Nicasio Lake
Spooks, frogs, and buzzbaits are taking good numbers of bass in the 2 lb range during low light hours in the mornings and evenings with speed traps and Carolina rigged plastics producing good numbers of fish during the day. Look for big flats on the main lake and cover water fast and far, only slowing down when you find rocks and edges on those flats.

Stafford Lake
Falling water has pulled a lot of fish out but small poppers and walking baits will take shallow fish early in the morning and those same shallow fish will hit wacky rigged senkos, robo worms and trick worms during the day. Better fish can be picked up on weightless speed worms, buzz toads, and tubes fished at the surface on weedy main lake points. The biggest fish can be found patrolling the deep edges off the flats and coves looking for 6”-12” bass that venture out too far from the safety of the shallows and can be targeted with deep diving crank baits in bass colors. 1 oz spinnerbaits, and my favorite 4-8” swimbaits in bass patters like the 4” storm, 6” Castaic bass, and 8” Huddleston ROF12 with black and green bars added by hand with permanent markers.

Alpine Lake
Still a bit slow in general but some of the local sticks have found some small patterns and a few big fish but they are being tight lipped and everyone else is just pulling dinks on dropshots and senkos. If anyone has any info on lake Alpine, email me.

Kent Lake
Not a lot of reports coming out of Kent lately but one guy says he’s getting them at the dam with poppers and gun fish in the evenings and Senkos and dropshots during the day. The water is really low right now and should be awesome for crankbaits and at the very least awesome for sketching or photographing bottom structure while the water is so low.
